Partnering with Parents

My Pre-Conference session was with Billy Phenix from Buckhead Church. Billy Talked about Partnering with Parents and what that looks like for them here at North Point. Billy did a great job leading us to process through not only what that looks like for them but also what that can look like for Churches that may not be operating at the same level of a North Point.

Here are a few of his points.

Take advantage of OPTIMAL times to partner with Parents – take the time to find those occasions to partner with your parents and cultivate those relationships. Big milestones are a huge way to make this happen. i.e. Baby D, Family Birthday Celebrations, etc.

Initiate a partnership During the Preschool Years – This is a time to capitalize on parents and their desire to be involved. Every Parent wants to succeed and the early we can focus in on that with them the better we chance we have. The natural progression of life suggest that children are going to become more independent as they grow and parents often do not want to hinder that. So if we can make those early times to make it happen our success rate goes way up.

Invite elementary Parents to play a central role in the spiritual development of their children – We want parents to be a part of all the big things that happen in a child’s life. We want parents to cultivate the spiritual part of their children. Big milestones are huge and we want to empower the parents to share them with their kids not find out about them after the fact.

Billy Did a great job. I cant wait to see what the rest of the week has in store.
